Life-saving Central Queensland rescue services to go to tender

The Queensland state government has announced it will open a tender process for the operation of two aeromedical rescue services based in Central Queensland. The initiative aims to consolidate the management of these life-saving services under a single operator.

This move represents a shift in the procurement strategy for regional emergency aviation, moving toward a unified service model. The tender process will determine which entity is selected to oversee the critical air-rescue operations for the region.
